I have this issue (gnome keyring daemon hogging cpu at login with either Chrome or Chromium) on multiple machines running 12.04. No freezes, just very high cpu usage. Killing the offending process has no obvious ill effects.
I'm inclined to think that the Chrome issue pointed out in #4 above, large keyring slow writes, is the cause since I also see this with a Fedora 17 machine when Chrome is fired up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/939301 Title: Chromium and gnome-keyring, no username or password Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When trying to access sites with saved credentials in Chromium, gnome- keyring-daemon will use 100% CPU and Chromium won't be able to get the username and password.
